1995 Egypt Silver 1 Pound, FAO 50th Anniversary

Gods and hieroglyphs, papyrus and the fertile Nile region… all reminders of ancient Egypt. This handsome coin celebrates those icons, and more! The reverse depicts ancient Egyptian workers below a hieroglyphic inscription. The obverse notes the 50th anniversary of UN’s Food & Agriculture Organization, a leader in the fight against hunger. In 1995, countries around the globe issued special coins honoring that milestone. Now, more than a decade later, you can get the Uncirculated 72% silver commemorative of member nation Egypt. With a low mintage of just 3,000 pieces worldwide, and many now in private collections, you’ll want to get yours while our suppliy lasts!
